Gigi & Dar
‘Private Gigi, One Direction are here – naked – awaiting your command.’
A roadblock. Two young women armed with machine guns and Nutella. Days away from finishing the army.
Gigi has a secret. Dar dreamt she’d be shot today. And there’s a strange vehicle heading their way…
Well, that’s okay. Nothing ever happens here. Right?
The world premiere of Gigi & Dar – a comic tragedy about what we bury to survive – created by Josh Azouz and Kathryn Hunter, two of the country’s most exciting theatre artists.
